I failed my first driver’s test.
I had a ‘51 Buick Roadmaster. Dad found it in the paper for $95. The clutch was nearly gone so you really had to feather it to keep if from chattering.
The examiner had me parallel park on a hill between two cars. I was doing great until I tapped the bumper on the car behind me.
I wish I had taken the test in a Morris Minor like my dad owned when I was small. had to take it in a 1959 Ford with three on the tree. Parallel parking in one of those early 50’s behemoths? Forget it.
Took my first drivers test on a 1946 Harley-Davidson with an 8 over Springer, great ride around the cones and parking lot.
But they made me go SOOO SLOW.
Dad taught Mom and 5 kids to drive. All of us passes first time. May God bless you Dad. I miss you.
